IUI Treatment Procedure, Success Rate by Age and Cost

 

Family planning is a personal and emotional choice for any couple. However, due to fertility problems, thousands of couples do not get to live their dream of becoming parents. If you are one of those people facing problems with conceiving, we have state-of-the-art fertility treatments that are tailored just for you. One of the most effective treatments suggested to patients is Intrauterine Insemination (IUI). At Apollo Fertility, we take pride in offering the most effective IUI treatment. It is a painless, risk-free, and cost-saving procedure. Moreover, we offer the best infrastructure and compassion to facilitate your path to parenthood.

What is IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) Treatment?

Intrauterine insemination is a simple and effective fertility treatment. Under this treatment, the most potent sperm are inserted directly into the uterus. This is done to increase teh chances of fertilisation as the sperm is deposited close to the egg. The treatment avoids any issue that the sperm have to face, such as aggressive cervical mucus or a lengthy path through the fallopian tubes.

  • The following are the reasons why Intrauterine Insemination is treatment done:
  • Couple with mild male issues such as low sperm count or sperm movement.
  • Women with mild endometriosis or ovulation disorders.
  • Infertility cases where physicians are unable to identify any particular cause.
  • Individuals or couples using donor sperm, e.g., LGBTQ+ couples and single women.

At Apollo Fertility, we intend to provide a welcoming place for your treatment and use the newest developments in reproductive medicine to provide you with the optimal result.

Why is IUI Treatment Performed?

IUI is a highly sought treatment for individuals who desire to conceive because it is simpler, cheaper and easy to carry out than other treatments like IVF. It works in situations where there are slight problems with fertility, such as mild male infertility, cervical issues, ovulation disorders, etc, that make it hard to conceive naturally. Intrauterine Insemination is usually the first choice of doctors because:

  • It enhances the chances of fertilisation without surgery.
  • It treats male and female fertility issues without any incisions. 
  • It can be used along with other medications to increase the chances of getting healthy eggs.

The choice to go with IUI is completely yours. At Apollo Fertility, our experts make sure that you know everything about all the aspects and are at ease with your treatment plan.

IUI Procedure Step By Step

At Apollo Fertility, our Intrauterine Insemination treatment is customised to provide you with the best possible success rate while making you feel relaxed. Below is the step-by-step overview of the IUI treatment procedure at our clinic:

1. Consultation and Diagnosis

Step one of your IUI treatment is a thorough consultation with our fertility experts. In the consultation, we learn about your medical history and perform the required tests. The tests include blood tests, ultrasounds and a semen analysis to establish your fertility and whether IUI is suitable for you.

2. Monitoring and Medication of Ovulation

To maximise the chances of getting pregnant, we track your ovulation cycle very carefully. At times, we may put you on medication that stimulates the release of healthy eggs. Our team uses ultrasound scans to track how your follicles are growing and when the best time is for insemination.

3. Sperm Preparation

On the day of the procedure, the donor or partner provides a semen sample. We handle this sample carefully in our lab to select the healthiest and most potent sperm.

4. Insemination

Once the sperm is ready, it is placed directly into the uterus through a thin, sterile tube. The process is quick, painless and takes only a few minutes. Our skilled fertility specialists perform this step at our modern treatment facility.

5. Post-Procedure Care

Once the procedure is completed, you can start your normal activities within a few hours. You do not require any days off. We recommend that you wait for around two weeks before conducting a pregnancy test to check the outcome.

Each step of the IUI treatment is performed with caution and precision to give you the best possible opportunity to get pregnant.

How Long Does It Take For IUI to Get Pregnant?

The most frequent question among couples is how long it will take for Intrauterine Insemination to result in pregnancy. It depends on a range of factors, such as the female's age, the sperm's health and the existence of underlying fertility problems.

Women who are younger than 35 usually have a better chance of getting pregnant, with a 10-20% possibility of conception after each IUI cycle.

For women over 35 years, the success rate can slightly diminish but it is still an option for the majority. The majority of couples conceive in three to six cycles of IUI. We monitor your progress at Apollo Fertility and modify the treatment protocol as necessary to enhance the outcome.

IUI Treatment Cost at Apollo Fertility

Cost is usually an important factor when choosing a fertility treatment. One benefit of IUI is that it is more affordable as compared to other advanced treatments like IVF.

The IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) treatment cost at Apollo Fertility changes based on tests, medication, and the number of cycles required. You can expect the cost to be between the range of INR 3000 to INR 50,000. At our clinic, we provide transparent prices and easy payment options to make the treatment affordable.  During our first consultation, we explain fees clearly and make sure there are no hidden fees.

Is IUI better than IVF?

When it comes to the fertility needs of a couple, IUI and IVF serve different purposes.  Intrauterine Insemination is a less complicated, less intrusive and less expensive alternative.  Mild infertility is a common reason for its recommendation.  Although in vitro fertilisation (IVF) is more complicated and expensive, it is more effective, particularly for cases of severe infertility.  Considerations such as age, diagnosis and medical history determine the most appropriate course of treatment. Thus, making an appointment with a fertility doctor should be your first step.

Is IUI 100% successful?

No, IUI is not 100 percent. Its success rate depends on such parameters as age, health condition, and cause of infertility. On average, it would be 10% to 20% per cycle of the success rate. In addition, success rates would often lean towards younger women. Thus, especially women younger than 35 years are likely to see more success. It isn't guaranteed, however. To achieve a positive result sometimes a number of cycles will be undertaken.

How long does it take for IUI to work?

After IUI, you’ll typically need to wait about two weeks before taking a pregnancy test. This gives the fertilized egg time to implant in the uterus. Some women may get pregnant on the first try, but for others, it may take several cycles. IUI is not always successful right away.

Is IUI better than IVF?

IUI is less invasive and also cheaper than IVF. It is commonly used in patients with minor male infertility or ovulation problems. However, IVF tends to have better success rates and is usually used in cases of fertility complicated by more complex conditions such as blocked fallopian tubes or severe male infertility. Although IUI is less invasive, IVF tends to be more effective.

Is ICSI better than IVF?

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a specific form of IVF where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg. It’s mainly recommended for severe male infertility, like low sperm count or motility. While IVF works well for many, ICSI offers a more targeted approach to male fertility problems. In cases of male infertility, ICSI can be more effective than IVF.

Who is a good candidate for IUI?

IUI is very effective for patients who experience minimal male factors such as low sperm count or motility, unexplained infertility, cervical issues, or ovulation problems. This procedure can also be suitable for single women or lesbian couples who use donor sperm. Women with blocked fallopian tubes are less ideal candidates unless they can be treated. Age is an important factor, as success rates tend to be much better in younger women.

How painful is IUI?

IUI is generally not painful, but some women may feel mild discomfort when the catheter is inserted into the uterus. This feeling is usually brief and similar to a Pap smear. Many women experience little to no pain. If you’re looking for expert care and a smooth experience, Apollo Fertility offers personalized support throughout.
